Upside Learning is excited to announce that it has won 5 awards under the 2010 Brandon Hall Awards for Excellence in Learning Technology for its flagship Learning Management System - UpsideLMS. This is the second consecutive year in which UpsideLMS has won the prestigious Brandon Hall Awards.

Improving its tally to 5 awards as compared to last year's 3, UpsideLMS has once again proved its capability to the world. It has won a Gold for Best Advance in Learning Management Technology for Blended or Informal Learning, as in the year before. Furthermore it has added one more Gold award under the Compliance Training category.

Continuing its spot in the Silver award section, for the 2nd time in a row, UpsideLMS has picked up 2 Silver awards; one for Best Advance in Social Learning Technology and another for Best Advance in Learning Management Technology for Small- and Medium- Sized Businesses.

A new category for UpsideLMS this year was the ‘External Training’ category where it bagged a Bronze award. UpsideLMS's innovative 3-tier architecture (the multi-tenant/multi-portal system) makes it extremely easy to extend the Learning Management System to a company's external partners/stakeholders.

With over 160 features that are a perfect blend of traditional learning management and innovative technologies like social media and mobile learning, UpsideLMS provides a unique platform for companies to manage their organization-wide, multi-department training/ learning in a cost-effective manner.

These excellent tools and systems are the cutting edge of learning technology. They really change for the better how people learn in the workplace.
